😂 It may be too early for me too. It's my first time at an organized group ride so I figure it's better to get there early.That's way too early for me. Have a great ride.
Don't bother waiting for me, I'll be on my way to church. I usually ride in the afternoons on Sundays.
Haha, I wish. There is a skate park in Hazlet. I like to go there and pretend I'm 16 again.@xmonger I'm in the Hartshorne area working on a house. Let me know if you want to get that bike dirty sometime. Btw, do you have your own half pipe?
How bad does it leak? I put new tires on and the rear is flat after 3-4 days. No issues on a 3 hour ride... Too cold to deal with that now, spring problems...Haha, I wish. There is a skate park in Hazlet. I like to go there and pretend I'm 16 again.
On Hartshorne, yeah anytime. The only issue with the "new" bike is I need to reseal the front tire, Probably need to dump fresh sealant in there and not retape?
So many things to learn...
PO said it will go flat in a day.How bad does it leak? I put new tires on and the rear is flat after 3-4 days. No issues on a 3 hour ride... Too cold to deal with that now, spring problems...
I bought the bike today already set up tubeless. I didn't ask the prior owner if the bike was converted by him or the Specialized dealer. I'm not sure if I should take the tire off to reseal and check the tape or just pour the sealant through the valve stem? If I take the tire off, I'll use my compressor to seat the bead.Check they are seated properly. Did you use a compressor to install the tires?
If you want to look for leaks. Pump the tire up to 25 or 30 psi Mix a small amount of water and a heavy proportion of dish soap and get a small paint brush and paint the rim/tire bead interface, paint the valve stem. it may take a few minutes for slow leaks but you'll see the leak get foamy. you can try it on the spokes at the nipples too but thats a little more tricky. leaking at the nipples would mean its the tape. I've also had sidewalls of tires leak a lot for a while until they get coated with sealant. Usually non Tubless ready tires.I bought the bike today already set up tubeless.

Unless you can pinpoint a specific leak using the soapy method previously described, I would take the tires off and possibly re-tape them if the inspection suggests to do so. If the bike had been sitting for a while and depending on the type and amount of sealant used, you may have a big chunk of gunk sticking to one spot. Unfortunately, whenever I bought a mounted wheelset my mental condition forces me to remove the tires, change the tape and scrub the inside of the tire clean, which is entirely unnecessary so I hope that is not the case for you!I bought the bike today already set up tubeless.

The leak was coming from the valve stem and no amount of tightening helped. In the rear, there are no leaks, but it sounds like a marble is in the tire. No doubt the sealant has dried up good.Unless you can pinpoint a specific leak using the soapy method previously described, I would take the tires off and possibly re-tape them if the inspection suggests to do so.
